Ok. I mainly wanted to make sure I hadn't overlooked some way to do it that was already available. But if you do figure out a way to do it then that would be great too. :)

Thanks

Just to be more clear, I'm referring to the legal notice that is configured in the registry at

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Winlogin\LegalNoticeText

or via domain policy. This notice appears after you press Ctrl-Alt-Delete to log on, but before the username/password prompt.

What I'm referring to here is when logging onto a server and it is configured to show a legal notice/banner where you must press an OK button before proceeding to logon to the server. All our servers are configured this way. I was looking for a way to automatically press the OK button to continue the login.

I've tried using Events - After Connection - Execute Automatically and running a typing macro to simply send an Enter keypress. This DOES work, but the problem is having to set a delay time. With thousands of servers in our environment, the time required to start up a session varies significantly. Sometimes it can start up within 3-4 seconds, other times it may be 20-30 seconds. Obviously if I set the time too short then it does not work and is useless, if I set it long enough to catch all of them then most of the time I'm just sitting there waiting on the keypress to happen.

Just wondering if there was something I've overlooked in RDM that could actually detect when the legal notice appears and THEN press the button (send an ENTER keypress) or if it's something that could be feasible as a feature request.

Thanks

I just loaded 8.0.5 and renaming a folder now works correctly for me. Thanks very much!

I just installed v8.0.4.0 and it still does the exact same thing as described below. I can still get a group back where I had it by using Move to Another Group/Folder (and when I do, the 0 folder disappears), but it still does create a dummy 0 entry in the tree and puts the renamed entry under it every time I rename a group/folder

I'm using 7.6.3.0 - the most current production (non-beta) version, as far as I know. No big deal as long as it's fixed in the next version since that is supposed to be out soon.

Thanks

I have a strange issue every time I try to rename a group. For example, I create a new group directly beneath the root (Sessions) and name it Test. So now the tree looks like this:

Sessions

---->Test

When I press F2 and rename the Test group to something else, it creates another group named 0 and makes my original folder a sub-group of this new 0 group, like so:

Sessions

---->0

-------->Test Renamed

Now I can resolve this fairly simply by right-clicking on Test Renamed and selecting Move to Another Group/Folder and selecting to move it under Sessions. When I do that the group named 0 (that was auto-created) disappears and the Test Renamed folder goes where it should, such as

Sessions

---->Test Renamed

So it's not too much trouble to get things the way I want, but it sure would be nice to just be able to rename a group in place without always have to move it afterward. This happens no matter what level of the tree the renamed group is in, i.e. it could be a couple of levels deep in the tree and it will still create a "dummy" group named 0 and put the renamed group below that.

Any idea what could be causing this strange behavior?

If i understand correctly, an RDP connection is actually run differently when it is configured for Embedded vs External. And that Embedded/External is different than docked/undocked. Assuming I am correct, is there a way to configure an RDP connection so that it runs in embedded mode but opens initially undocked?

Thanks

And I appreciate the tip about clicking on the image, that's useful. Too bad it's not "discoverable", i.e. not hilighted or marked or change the cursor or anything - so no way to know about it. And not documented (as far as I recall), although I could have missed it.

Not really that big a deal, but I'd like to have a link on the Dashboard for Edit Session. It would save having to right-click on the connection in the tree and search down the context menu.

Also, it would be very handy (when having to edit many sessions) to have a Previous and Next button on the Edit Session dialog. That would make it easy to make changes and immediately go to the next connection entry, without having to go back to the tree, click on the next connection, right-click, select Edit Session (or Ctl-E). Again, not that big a deal, but it could make session editing go much faster. And I guess if you did that you'd also have to add an Apply button, so changes could be commited without having to hit OK (which would close the dialog).

Thanks
